Design Sketches of New Skoda Kushaq SUV revealed; Will make world premiere in India on 18 March 2021

Skoda has released two design sketches to give a detailed preview of the new Kushaq. The design of the midsize Skoda Kushaq SUV for the Indian market draws inspiration from the bold look of the Skoda VISION IN concept car.

The new ŠKODA KUSHAQ features a powerful front end with two-piece headlights, a wide ŠKODA grille and an impressive front bumper.

Skoda Auto has adapted the MQB-A0-IN version of the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Transverse Toolkit specifically for India. As part of the INDIA 2.0 product campaign, it is the first of four models from the Skoda and Volkswagen brands to be manufactured locally in India. The world premiere of the Skoda Kushaq will take place on 18 March 2021.

The first design sketch shows the powerful front of the new Skoda Kushaq, whose name is derived from the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit. The word ‘Kushak’ means king or emperor. The sharply cut, two-part front headlights, which extend to the wide Skoda grille, create a prominent appearance. The impressive front bumper with underride protection emphasises the athletic look of the SUV.

The second sketch shows the rear of the new Skoda Kushaq, which has a clear structure and is framed by an elongated roof spoiler and a rugged rear diffuser in the bumper. The taillights of the midsize SUV feature the brand’s trademark crystalline structures, and the Skoda lettering appears in block capitals on the tailgate.

In terms of technology, the Skoda Kushaq and the other upcoming volume models are based on the locally developed and produced MQB-A0-IN platform. This already complies with the new, stricter safety and emission requirements in India. With a planned 95 per cent localisation level for the new vehicles, the technical development is being carried out at Skoda Auto’s Technology Centre in Pune.
